Fast-Food Nation


I thought this movie is really well done in the way that it doesn’t show up like a propaganda. It first shows how many people rely on fast-food restaurants, today, then it moves to the perspective from the workers in the slaughter house. At the end, it actually leaves the choice for you to decide whether you would still like to eat those kind of foods. Just that the consequences, which the movie showed, could gross you out.
The reason that people nowadays rely on fast-food restaurants, is pretty similar to my first semester’s global ethics’ final assessment’s topic; “Time and Money.” You don’t really have to wait when you are eating in a fast-food restaurant. In fact, most people buy their foods by something called the Drive’thru, which allow you to order your meals when you’re in your car so you continue driving and have your meal on your way to business or anything. Fast-food restaurants are often a lot cheaper than the other restaurants are. Therefore, more people rely on them because they save both time and money. Eventually, in one hand, the people become the sponsors by relying on them.
